I am looking for an efficient Android programmer to develop a simple cooking application, which allows users to search for recipes based on the ingredients they specify. The aim of the application is to provide users with ideas on how they can make best use of the food they already have at home. The application will search in a database of recipes, which will be provided by me. It will then allow users to browse among and view details of recipes that match their search criteria.
This should be a very easy and quick programming task for those with experience with Android applications.
More information in the detailed requirements. Further specifications of the application, images and the database will be provided upon awarding project.
## Deliverables
The application will have the following characteristics:
**? ** **The application will firstly load the main search interface, filling 100% of the screen, which will consist of a background image (to be provided), header text, three search bars beneath each other and a "Find recipe" button.
**
****? ** **The interactive features of the interface will consist of the search bars, where users will be able to enter three ingredients they want the recipe to include (they will be able to enter free text), and the "Find recipe" button.****
**? ** **Upon the user touching the "Find recipe" button, the application will perform a search in the database and list all recipes that contain any of the specified ingredients.**
**? ** **The recipes will be ordered according to how many of the searched ingredients they contain, with the most fitting ones shown first. The user will be able to review the search results by scrolling up and down the screen. By touching its name, the details of any given recipe will appear on a new screen.**
**? ** **This last screen will list the name of the recipe, the number of servings, ingredients (with bullet points), and directions for preparation. The application will draw this information from the database.**
**? ** **In case the database does not contain recipes that match the search criteria, the application should present the following text instead of the results page: "Sorry, no matching recipes found. Please try again."**
**? ** **The user will be able to navigate between the different screens by using the interactive buttons ("Find recipe", recipe names on the results page) and the "go back" button of the phone itself.**
